ASSESSMENT SUPPORT
Assessment is an ongoing process that uses the results from
measured outcomes to improve programs and operations. In 1994,
UCF established a goal that all academic and administrative
units would develop mission statements, objectives, and at least
three outcome measures to assess and improve programs, operations,
and services. Today, every academic program and administrative
unit at UCF is actively engaged in an assessment process. Assessment
is conducted in response to many external drivers (e.g., Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)
Criteria for Accreditation, NCATE,
AACSB, and ABET)
and most importantly the internal drive to improve.
The
UCF assessment process that is conducted in response to SACS is
the Institutional Effectiveness process. As part of this process
all of the assessment plans and results undergo an annual review
by Divisional Review Committees and the University Assessment Committee
(UAC).
The
OEAS office provides workshops,
consultations, and direct support to academic programs and administrative
units in designing and analyzing surveys, developing and implementing
assessment plans, conducting analyses of processes, and preparing
for accreditation site visits. The OEAS office also provides administrative
support for the UAC and designs and maintains the Assessment web
site that archives all academic program and administrative unit
assessment plans. OEAS facilitates the CQI submission and review
process.
